It's always exciting to visit the garden after having been away for a while, and it has been a while. I haven't gone up there since before we went to Charlottesville on June 28, and so I was eager to see how things were growing.
When I finally made it this afternoon, I was a little disappointed. This has been a tough year: a cool and rainy spring was followed by a hot and droughty early summer. Torrential thunderstorms have been hit or miss, and while everything is growing, not much is setting fruit. My tomatoes, squash, beans, and peppers are weeks away from producing. A stroll by the other gardens in our community plot confirmed that everyone is in the same situation.
The only upside? The weeds aren't growing either.
Not having to weed is no trifling perk!
